I had been searching in earnest over the past few months for a certain Lange which was next on my list to acquire. My time spent over the past few years on this forum has helped me to map out which pieces I hope to collect, each with their own unique flavour while still embodying the essence of my favourite brand.

This past weekend I was able to finally conclude the search, and I can honestly say this watch makes my heart melt each and every time I look at it. I would like to thank TZ owners of Richard lange's for posting photos which have helped me with my decision.

Now to the fun part...

Off to a good start

The warmth of a beautiful metal

The poetically elegant and smooth sweep of the Richard Lange

Hard to capture the subtle depth of the dial, but I know many here are owners of a RL.. so you can understand my difficulties.

The secret behind the magic, the quintessential element of Lange injected into this beautifully minimal 3-hand marvel. As with everything Lange makes, there is more than meets the eye.

and a requisite wrist-shot

Sadly, I have to let one of the Lange 1's go. I am currently trying to decide which to keep and it is a very difficult decision.

So happy to own this Richard Lange, to me it shares that instantly recognizable Lange image. It was a difficult choice going with the RG over the PT case, however the other Lange's I have in mind going forward are all white metal pieces and the RG RL wears very well in my eyes.

Heading out on business for a couple weeks, unable to bring the RL. But will be tucked away safely waiting for my return.
